HOUSTON – The local law enforcement community is rallying around a veteran Houston police officer fighting to survive COVID-19.
A private prayer vigil for senior officer Ernest Leal is scheduled to take place Monday at 6 p.m., at the Houston Police Officers’ Union downtown.
The 35-year department veteran has been in intensive care for weeks at Houston Northwest Medical Center in Cypress after contracting COVID-19.
So I’m asking now that the other officers help them out with their prayer,” Hunt said.
